SpaceX SES-9 Mission.

In March 2016, SpaceX launched their second mission of the year, the SES-9 mission. This was a night launch where SpaceX sent a communications satellite into orbit. After the launch SpaceX attempted a landing of the first stage. The landing was not successful and video of the failed attempt cut out. The SpaceX SES-9 was still a success as they launched the satellite into orbit and the landing was still just a test.
